Podman Machine crashes if run as root. When creating the machine, we write the ignition so that the UID of the core user matches the UID of the user on the host. We by default, create the root user on the machine with UID 0. If the user on the host is root, the core UID and the Root UID collide, causing a the VM not to boot.

NAME
podman-machine - Manage Podman's virtual machine
SYNOPSIS
podman machine subcommand
DESCRIPTION
podman machine is a set of subcommands that manage Podman's virtual machine.
Podman on MacOS and Windows requires a virtual machine. This is because containers are Linux - containers do not run on any other OS because containers' core functionality are tied to the Linux kernel. Podman machine must be used to manage MacOS and Windows machines, but can be optionally used on Linux.
All podman machine commands are rootless only.
